About this property

The Great Escape 3BR 2B Entire house

A 20 min drive from the Tampa international airport this is our quaint newly renovated vacation home, in South Tampa. A 20 minute drive from Tropicana Fields and the Amalie Arena, in addition to the Tampa Zoo and aquarium. Honestly it’s a great location to get to almost anything fun in the Tampa area! And if you want to just stay in we set up a backyard oasis with a pool/hot tub spa combo surrounded by a cozy shaded relaxing patio. Paradise is right around the corner in our Great Escape!

The place was perfect! Very clean, well maintained, easy check-in process and the hosts were great. The best part was the very large jacuzzi in the back screened in porch. We plan to keep this place on the list of places to stay next time we are in Tampa.

Great place that met all of our needs! We came to town to move our daughter into u if Tampa - great location from airport to city and everything in between. Neighborhood itself is dated and is the nicest house on the street - but in general felt safe and would return.

Beautiful beach getaway home with all the right touches. Communication was excellent with the owners and they were so nice throughout the whole process. The backyard is definitely the highlight, amazing hot tub and lounging area perfect for the end of the night or to start the day!

Great stay

Beautiful home that is well taken care of. The owners have done a great job of making the place a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable. The check-in process was a breeze, even accommodating us for a last minute extra night. The location is super convenient for city exploration. Can't wait for our next stay there!

Perfect Location

The home was just as advertised, spotless and centrally located to everywhere we needed to go! It was perfect for our family of five. Clearwater beach was about a 45 minute ride with traffic. The access to beach toys and chairs was a plus. Beautiful screened in patio with hot tub. The public pool being 5 mins away was a plus as well. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Tampa again.

The Great Escape was everything we were looking for!

This cute little house was so adorable, decorated so pretty. It was clean & cozy plus excellent location to all fun things in Tampa and the surrounding areas. Tampa zoo, Florida aquarium, Busch Gardens. Legoland was a little over an hour away. which wasn’t bad at all. Clearwater beach within 40 minutes….we couldn’t have been more pleased with choosing this property. Super quiet neighborhood. Beds were cozy. Owners and host is very attentive and quick to respond. We had a great vacation!

But, the house itself is set up to decompress the weary soul, with the home comforts of good living!
